Irreplaceable

Cue Beyoncé.

Because Mayor Michael Bloomberg believes only he can guide the city through a period of economic crisis, and because two-thirds of the New York City Council would be out of a job otherwise, the Council has overturned the term limits law that was previously approved twice by the New York City voters.

Bullshit.

Questions:

If Bloomberg is the only viable political candidate in the City of New York who has the skills and knowledge to get us through tough economic times, might he have at least attempted to explain what this special knowledge entails?

Instead of changing the law to suit his own personal desires, couldn’t he simply have shared his super-duper economic survival secrets with the next mayor, whoever he or she happened to be?

Do the sniveling self-serving sycophants of the City Council who voted for this measure (no conflict of interest there, right?) have any sense of shame whatsoever?

Okay, I can do this…*deep breath*…eh-hem!…A-A-Anth-Anthony Weiner for Mayor!

    The arguments made for this bill amount to “politicians know best, peasants just shut up & pay your taxes.” This will require NYers to remember the gall of these characters at the ballot box either this year or next time. But, will they? No, NYC prefers to vote & keep in celebrities–how else to explain Hillary “Carpetbagger” Clinton easily winning her Senate seat originally?
